What Georgia law says
| Notice before a rent increase | No statute — Georgia sets no specific advance-notice period for rent increases. A tenancy at will (no fixed term) ends only with 60 days' notice from the landlord (30 days from the tenant), so a landlord changing terms on a periodic or at-will tenancy generally must work within that notice. During a fixed-term lease, the rent is set by the lease. Source: O.C.G.A. § 44-7-7 |
|---|---|
| Rent control / increase limits | Local rent control is preempted. No county or city may enact, maintain, or enforce any ordinance or resolution regulating the rent charged for privately owned single-family or multi-unit residential rental property. Exceptions: property the local government (or its authority) owns, and voluntary agreements with private persons that regulate rent. No statewide rent cap. Source: O.C.G.A. § 44-7-19 |
